The terrific cycle whirl alone was worth the price of admis sion. The main show itself was a credit to any man. Those who missed the show, missed something worth swing. If the tux payers of Snyber (bounty are to help i to pay f r a bribge, the bridge t-hould be erected where it will be most convenieut to the greatest numlier. The freeing of the West Branch bridge or the contraction of a new bridge, involves. such a large expenditure of money that the sub ject should be Ireely discussed. .

Application will be made at Court next week for the appointment of viewers to free the West liranch Bridge at Northumberland. There is great need of a free bridge across the Susque hanna to promote the commercial relations of both tides of the river. The chief commercial relations of Snyder county people are with Sun bury anil not with Nortluunlicrland. The free ing of the West Branch Bridge would do very little good to our people as there are still tolls on the North Branch Bridges, which woi-ld have to be paid before getting into Sunbury. There, are two miles of very dangerous road with the river on one side and the Heading Kail road on the other from Clement Station to the East End of the West Branch bridge, beside the bridge ii old and would soon have to be rebuilt. and the preservation of the bass, pickerel, and other desirable fi.shes.
